Programming

Submissions will be in the form of packaged, well documented source files. Proper documentation and packaging of source code and other material is a crucial component of assigned work and submissions failing in this regard will receive no credit.

Literate Programming: All submitted work must use a literate programming style: Your programs must be designed with a human as the intended reader, although they must also compile and run correctly. Programs that do not meet this requirement are likely to receive a zero score with no further consideration. Details will be discussed in class.

Class accounts: Shell accounts will be generated on the host aturing.umcs.maine.edu based on registration records. These accounts are important for successful completion of homeworks and other assignments. You should be able to access your accounts from anywhere on the Internet by using ssh. On most Unix-like hosts (GNU/Linux, Mac OS), the command ssh -l username aturing.umcs.maine.edu should suffice. For Windows hosts, the freely available Putty program works well.
